Ex-Paterson Mayor Surrenders After Year on Run
Ex-mayor William Belcher, who absconded with $25,000 from the Manchester Building and Loan Association, surrendered at Paterson county jail after a year of wandering across the United States and into Canada. He says he will face punishment and implicates no one, noting a “year of hell” and stating he traveled through many states including California and Boston. Belcher was accompanied by questions about the missing funds as indictments totaling about $150,000 hang over him and the association's bankruptcy ensues.
